General-duty citation text

Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970:  The
employer did not
furnish employment and a place of employment which were free from
recognized hazards that
were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to
employees in that employees
were exposed to being struck by moving traffic:
On the jobsite:
a)The method of signaling by the flagger did not conform to Part VI of the
Manual
on Uniform Traffic Control Devices.  The flagger was not using sign paddles
while directing traffic.
b)The employer did not train the employee in the recognition of workzone
hazards.
One feasible method of abatement is to use the proper signs when directing
traffic and
train employees to recognize the hazards of workzone safety.e
